Title: FOUND MY ARROWS!!!! :)
Post by: caleb7mm on August 05, 2009, 05:49:00 PM
51lbs @28" recurve with b50 string

I pull 28.5" split finger

I figured i was a 400 spine. My thought was 30.5" arrow with 250 grains up front. According to the FOC calculator I was good. I shot the bare shafts today with broadheads and they were extremely stiff.

Thinking ahead I had some 500 spine cut to 29 1/2". I put the broad heads on those and they flew like darts!

I havent ran these through the FOC calc yet but the bow loves them and they are accurate.

Hopefully we will see what they do penetration wise here in about a month  :)

Caleb, I am shooting a Tomcat that is right at 50# at my draw. I am having good luck with Easton 500s cut to 29" with 50 grain brass inserts and 200 grain points. Fly like the proverbial dart! Have a good season-Mike
